Former Bulgarian Prime Minister, Boyko Borisov, has finally informed he was ready to negotiate with two out of the three other parties in the current Parliament.

In an interview for TV Europe, Borisov, who is the leader of the center-right Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria party, GERB, stated that in the name of national interests he was now ready for compromise and negotiations with his political opponents from the left-wing Bulgarian Socialist Party, BSP, and the liberal, predominantly ethnic Turkish Movement for Rights and Freedoms, DPS.

According to the former PM, the main problem was the antagonism and even hatred among different political formations in the country emerging in recent years, which led to a situation where his GERB won the May 12 general elections, but became unable to rule in coalition.

"We must work on establishing a new political culture and work with the public. It is clear this government will have to go sooner or later in the light of such pressure and tensions, and we are facing new snap general elections. We must use the expert potential of all political parties. Depending on how the voters rank us, we should have the culture, the wisdom and the humility to form governments acceptable for society," he said.

Borisov admitted GERB have been at fault for the antagonism and hatred as well, but added as a new party they were seeking their identity and to impose their expert potential.

"The right-wing parties that recently formed a new union are saying they want to move forward without GERB. We have similar ideology and they still do not want us. With whom if without us?" he stressed.

Meanwhile, DPS Member of the Parliament, Hristo Biserov, hinted before the Bulgarian National Radio that another government could emerge during the term of the current General Assembly.

The newly-elected leader of the right-wing Democrats for Strong Bulgaria, DSB, Radan Kanev, said in a TV interview he harbored very strong doubts an alignment of the positions of GERB and his party would be ever possible.

The fourth party in the current Parliament is the extremist nationalist Ataka.

On Borisov's order, GERB MPs have not been attending any parliamentary sittings, except debates on a new Election Code.

Sunday is the 31st day of protests in Bulgaria.

The series of anti-government protests was triggered by the scandalous appointment of controversial media mogul Delyan Peevski as Chair of the State Agency for National Security (DANS).

Although the appointment was revoked, the people went on to demand that the Socialist-endorsed cabinet of Prime Minister, Plamen Oresharski, resign collectively over ties with oligarchs.

Protesters are also calling for Election Code amendments which will guarantee greater representation of the people in Parliament.

A much smaller rally in support of Oresharski is held every evening as well in the park of the National Palace of Culture.
